pm-hiring skillA
pm-hiring is agent-read markdown (skill) from rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os: Design and run a PM hiring loop that hires on judgment instead of polish: a scorecard written before any candidate exists, a structured interview loop with a work sample, blind-vote calibration, and a written decision. Use when a PM req opens, when a loop keeps advancing confident storytellers who underperform in the job, when interviewers disagree and the debate is settled by seniority, or when a senior hire is really a stage mismatch. Takes the ladder rung, the seat's scope, and the team's sta.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# PM Hiring: scorecard first, candidate second The bad PM hire is rarely a mystery in hindsight: the rubric was written after the first impressive candidate, the interviews were conversations, and the debrief anchored on the most senior voice. Confident storytelling and framework fluency predict interview success and almost nothing else. This skill fixes the order: define the seat, write the scorecard, run the same structured loop for everyone, vote blind, then decide on evidence rows. ## Files this skill drives - [../../templates/execution/hiring-scorecard.md](../../templates/execution/hiring-scorecard.md), the scorecard, the loop, and the decision in one document - [../../templates/planning/first-90-days.md](../../templates/planning/first-90-days.md), which the hired person fills, seeded from the scorecard's outcomes - Reads: [../../knowledge/roles/ladder.md](../../knowledge/roles/ladder.md) for the rung, [../../knowledge/roles/specializations.md](../../knowledge/roles/specializations.md) for the terrain, [../../knowledge/roles/stage-shift.md](../../knowledge/roles/stage-shift.md) for the stage check …
